We’re offering scholarships of £4,000 or £8,000 towards full-time masters tuition fees for high-achieving international students who live in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Outstanding students applying for masters courses in our Faculty of Engineering are eligible for scholarships of £6,500 or £12,000.
